I think there are basically three ways to react.
I. Jimmy Dore & Richard Medhurst LIVE
Continue to speak the truth, and pontificate accordingly–hopefully making a living off it, but whatever.

It’s always in flux and they rise and fall sometimes.
Chris Hedges is the pontificator par excellence, and here he finds common cause with The People’s Party initiative.
Nick Branagh, the interviewer and founder of the party, notes that if candidates under his banner win, that’s good, but if the threat TPP represents pushes both the Overton window and the ruling parties to the left, that might be better still.
III. Something Else Again
I just came across this one–“Invisible People”–which appears to be one sixty-year-old guy who goes around talking to the rock-bottom of the working class.

“Finland, for example, just eliminated homelessness. How did they do that? They gave people houses. And they found that it was cheaper to do that, than any other measure”.
But that presumes that you have a human government, not to mention a fiscally sane one. That can’t happen here, because we have D’s and R’s running the whole show. (See I and II, above.)
So while we wait for our politicians to overcome their mental illness, or until we can find a way to force them to do the right thing, we are left with: Something Else Again.
What that consists of exactly is the entire preoccupation of my spilling mind now.
